Kentucky Child Custody Attorneys

In Kentucky, the custodial determination pertains to parental decision making for the children. In other words, custodial rights determine a parent’s ability to make decisions, jointly or solely regarding the children’s upbringing. This is distinguished from parenting time (visitation) – the amount of time each parent spends with the children.

A parent who is awarded sole custody gets to make all of the major decisions regarding the children’s upbringing. Sole custody creates a tremendous imbalance in the influence of the parents. Because of this imbalance, there is a trend in Kentucky Courts away from sole custody, except in cases where one parent is not willing or able to successfully co-parent the children.

A parent who has sole custody generally gets to determine where a child lives and may relocate without first obtaining the permission of the court or other parent. A sole custodian has full control over the children’s education, medical care and religious upbringing.

See What Others Have to Say
After working with substandard attention and performance from a previous attorney, while my personal matter continued to escalate, I searched for an attorney online who would take my serious family matters seriously - no more lip service. As their website says “Damn Good Attorneys,” they performed outstandingly and expeditiously and resolved all of my legal issues. They don’t waste your time or money and are exceptionally professional. Timeliness is valued too. You get what you pay for, so don’t waste your time or money with less expensive representation. I highly recommend Barrow Brown Carrington.
